Apart from mortgage debt amortizations and maturities, which are not substantial, the next nearest maturity is $300 mil due 1/2012. The Company has been very aggressive in addressing its balance sheet. I believe that this has been done in order to advantage of the dislocations in the debt market. During 2008, the Company has repurchased $278.5 mil of debt for $219.5 mil. The Company has indicated that it will continue to take advantage of the market for its securities. In order to do so, LXP reduced its dividend from $1.32 a year to $0.72, saving it $56 mil a year.

       With LXP stock at $4.60, the $0.72 dividend provides stockholders with a 15.6% current yield. With a FFO run-rate of $1.50 a share, the $0.78 a share retained by the Company will accrue to shareholders' benfit through accetive debt and preferred equity repurchases.  At $4.60, LXP stock sells for 3 times FFO and 54% of an increasing book.
